America’s Fastest-Growing EV State Isn’t California—Not by a Long Shot
New data shows electric vehicle adoption is increasingly driven by state policies, electricity prices and charging access—not federal incentives
www.autoweek.com
The number-one US state for EV growth, according to the June 22 Yardi report?
Oklahoma.
It has no ZEV mandates and "minimal" incentives, Yardi says, but also has cheap electricity, high multi-car household rates (so, for example, a non-Lightning Ford F-150 pulls their trailers), and a consumer base willing to switch.

Couple issues since Hopper 3 H708 update. Sometimes when I select watch to view a recording in my H3+ Plus, the Hopper goes to live TV mode. On second attempt recording playback works OK. Haven't notice that issue in my Joey 4s. Also, my J4s and WJ4s remote control names keep disappearing. Re-entered the remote control names several times but they disappear the next day. No issue with the Hopper 3 Plus remote control names. Anyone else having these issues?

Yes, a much better start to the season than last. With a Whovian reference, too!
Loved this episode. Not only had time travel, but they were instrumental in the death of the dinosaur and an explosion that takes out the 5th planet that is now the asteroid belt and lead to the orbit of Mars moving further out away from the sun, sealing its fate as a dead planet in our time. So the Enterprise was always supposed to go back 65 million years. So much for the prime directive in this situation. 
The bend-your-brain part was the not only was the Enterprise always supposed to go back 65m years, but that it always had.Loved this episode.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Video customers decreased by 21,000 in the second quarter and 172,000 for Internet.
The broadband losses are actually quite bad for both Comcast/Charter, since that is the more profitable part of their business.

Maybe Cable companies should rethink their strategy to attract new customers and to keep them. The old plan of announcing new fees for things you never had before after you subscribe and hiking the price every 6 months to a year is not working. Or they could continue to circle down the drain till they go under. At this point I don't really care as long as there is competition that can provide you with their services at lower prices.

A skinny bundle with minimal fees would probably get them a few more years, but the corporate conglomerates that own the networks won't allow it. They're going to milk every penny out of 3 FXs, 6 MTVs, 7 ESPNs...all playing content available on Pluto.

When I bought my new 96 Geo Metro a stereo was optional. I declined as I worked at Radio Shack and had a 'big pimpin' stereo and speakers I could put in instead
I'm so old i remember when auto trans and A/C were options tape players were options as well as cd players. i think even the rug on the floor was an option i think. you could get a ford escort for 5 to 6 k stripped with a stick shifter. and with all of this self driving BS coming just think what will hapen when you miss a payment it will drive itself back to the lot.
Your not that old ... if your saying A/C was an option.I'm so old i remember when auto trans and A/C were options tape players were options as well as cd players. i think even the rug on the floor was an option i think. you could get a ford escort for 5 to 6 k stripped with a stick shifter. and with all of this self driving BS coming just think what will hapen when you miss a payment it will drive itself back to the lot.

So you bought a xxxxbox that came with no radio as standard equipment( Geo - a collaboration, or should i say an abomimation between Chevy and Suzuki)and want to hold it up as a typical standard vehicle of the era?When I bought my new 96 Geo Metro a stereo was optional. I declined as I worked at Radio Shack and had a 'big pimpin' stereo and speakers I could put in instead
